LEED Rating System Selection

Can LEED for Homes be used for projects outside the US?

Hi, I have a request from a client to get a Residential Compound in KSA certified under LEED for home. The compound is composed of 4 standalone private villas. My basic understanding is that LEED for Homes requires a USGBC certified/approved Green Homebuilder along with a Green Home Rater. Those qualifications are not available in our region (KSA). In this case, how can the project be certified under LEED for Homes? Should the owner hire a Homebuilder & Energy Rater from the U.S. to carry out the project? Please advise... Regards,,, Diaa

Diaa, USGBC has launched an international pilot for LEED for Homes projects located in China and the Middle East. Please visit http://www.usgbc.org/DisplayPage.aspx?CMSPageID=147#international for more information and an application to participate in the pilot.
